Discussion Topics

This forum will explore the dynamics of Macao's job market, addressing the persistent gap between employer needs and job seeker expectations. Key questions include:

Where have the workers gone amidst economic slowdown and tightened foreign labor policies?
What are the actual needs of businesses, and what opportunities can they offer?
Why do returning graduates struggle to find suitable work? Is it a mismatch of skills or expectations?
How have the factors considered by job seekers changed today?
Is the issue a labor shortage, a skills mismatch, or structural unemployment?

The discussion aims to bridge the gap between "jobs without people and people without jobs."
